Do you have to remove the "green part" from the petals to make the infusion?

Billie do I need to take the green off to make the salve?

No. I left the green part holding the flower. But did trim the stem as much as possible up to that.

I am adding lavender (dried) to the dried flowers for my next batch. I have 2 quart jars waiting for oil that I week pick up tomorrow.
I am amazed at how well and fast it works!

Dawndra, your pic of the salve is so pretty you have inspired me to try making it. On a funny note I was outside picking the heads and my 16yr ds comes out and asks me what I'm doing. I say picking dandelion heads, he looks at me and says wouldn't it be easier to just mow over them? Lol

Will be picking up my oil tomorrow after my doctor's appt. for my next batch. Got my list so I don't forget! Hmm, may have to try adding some lavender, too. Thanks, Dawndra for mentioning that.

I am infusing mine tomorrow after I pick up more oil also. My daughter picked 2 1/2 gallons of flowers today. I will be drying them and picking more myself. I was thinking about trying a low oven to spleed the process.
